Um, okay. So how would the disabled and poor get healthcare?So....how would the disabled and poor people get healthcare?So why doesnt anyone on this forum say that? You can't find an example of it and you know it.Simply one example of many that want to be taken care of by government.

Remember that teabagger protestor who had that protest sign: "Get your government hands off my Medicare!"? Do you agree with him?
Nope, I think medicare should be abolished. Government money is one of the main drivers of health care costs. Just like it drives the costs of college. Stop the gravy train and costs will go down.

Medicaid, payed by the States or private organizations. It's not a federal function. This is what Madison, the father of the Constitution said on such topics.
The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. -James Madison Federalist 45
